Dr. Aldave began performing refractive surgery in the late 1990s during his residency in ophthalmology at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

As a full-time member of the Jules Stein Eye Institute faculty, Dr. Aldave performs a wide variety of refractive and anterior segment surgeries, and is involved in developing novel surgical techniques and devices for ocular surface reconstruction and corneal transplantation.
